Lucca occupies a singular position in the Italian luxury property market. The city is one of the best-preserved walled Renaissance towns in Europe: the sixteenth-century ramparts are intact, the medieval street grid is essentially unchanged, and the density of architectural heritage within the walls is matched by very few places in Italy. Outside the city, the surrounding hills, known as the Lucchesia, are scattered with historic villas that served for centuries as the summer residences of Lucca's prosperous merchant class. These villas, many with formal Baroque gardens and grounds of several hectares, represent one of the most distinctive categories of luxury residential property in the country.<\/p>\r\n
Building Heritage works with buyers seeking property both within the historic centre of Lucca and in the hills and countryside that surround it. Inside the walls, the available stock consists primarily of apartments and residences in historic palazzi, characterised by high ceilings, terracotta floors, stone staircases and the spatial generosity that distinguishes pre-industrial Italian construction. Outside the city, the range extends to the great historic villas of the Lucchesia, farmhouses with olive groves and views across the Serchio valley, and country houses in the villages of the Garfagnana and the Versilian hinterland.<\/p>","link":"https:\/\/www.building-heritage.com\/properties\/position\/lucca\/","name":"Lucca","slug":"lucca","taxonomy":"property-city","parent":0,"meta":[],"acf":[],"meta_box":{"ere_property_taxonomy_term_color":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.building-heritage.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/properties\/position\/574","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.building-heritage.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/properties\/position"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.building-heritage.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/property-city"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.building-heritage.com\/it\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/property?properties\/position=574"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
